Stanley: The Robot that Won the DARPA Grand Challenge

TLDR
The robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, was developed for high‐speed desert driving without manual intervention and relied predominately on state‐of‐the‐art artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning.
Abstract
This article describes the robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Stanley was developed for high-speed desert driving without human intervention. The robot’s software system relied predominately on state-of-the-art AI technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning. This article describes the major components of this architecture, and discusses the results of the Grand Challenge race.

Automotive Technology and Human Factors Research: Past, Present, and Future

TL;DR: A review of automotive technology development and human factors research, largely by decade, since the inception of the automobile can be found in this article, where the human factors aspects were classified into primary driving task aspects (controls, displays, and visibility), driver workspace (seating and packaging, vibration, comfort, and climate), driver condition (fatigue and impairment), crash injury, advanced driver-assistance systems, external communication access, and driving behavior).

Strategic decision making for automated driving on two-lane, one way roads using model predictive control

TL;DR: An algorithm for strategic decision making regarding when lane change and overtake manoeuvres are desirable and feasible by considering the task of driving on two-lane, one-way roads, as the selection of desired lane and velocity profile is presented.

The MIT - Cornell Collision and Why It Happened.

TL;DR: The root causes of the collision are examined, which are identified in both teams’ system designs and include difficulties in sensor data association leading to phantom obstacles and an inability to detect slow moving vehicles.

Multi-timescale Nexting in a Reinforcement Learning Robot

TL;DR: This paper presents results with a robot that learns to next in real time, making thousands of predictions about sensory input signals at timescales from 0.1 to 8 seconds, and extends nexting beyond simple timescale by letting the discount rate be a function of the state.

Flow: A Modular Learning Framework for Autonomy in Traffic

TL;DR: Important technical challenges arising from the partial adoption of autonomy, to involve both AVs and human-driven vehicles, are tackled: partial control, partial observation, complex multi-vehicle interactions, and the sheer variety of traffic settings represented by real-world networks.

Pattern classification and scene analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a unified, comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of both statistical and descriptive methods for pattern recognition is provided, including Bayesian decision theory, supervised and unsupervised learning, nonparametric techniques, discriminant analysis, clustering, preprosessing of pictorial data, spatial filtering, shape description techniques, perspective transformations, projective invariants, linguistic procedures, and artificial intelligence techniques for scene analysis.

New extension of the Kalman filter to nonlinear systems

TL;DR: It is argued that the ease of implementation and more accurate estimation features of the new filter recommend its use over the EKF in virtually all applications.

Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt to find a middle ground by balancing engineering principles and equations of use to every automotive engineer with practical explanations of the mechanics involved, so that those without a formal engineering degree can still comprehend and use most of the principles discussed.
